they are breaking the law. the question is, yes, they know they are breaking the law, but don't think they are going to get caught because they are so much smarter than everyone else. you may not see the kind of behavior we saw with bernie madoff. that is the biggest ponzi scheme in u.s. history, but on a smaller scheme you see this behavior with white collar criminals. it's almost a profile of someone that will cheat when it comes to the law. >> how about that? sunny hostin, thank you. before we go to break, i want to get you to talk about the duke study. as we are talking about stealing cash, this is fascinating. people were more tempted to steal. >> they did an experiment at duke where they gave people the opportunity to steal cash and what they found is that people were less likely to steal regular cash than a token that they could take and somewhere down the hall exchange for money. it seemed like if it was somehow indire indirect, it was easier to rationalize the cheating or stealing in their minds. >> wh

it used to be defined by law, from 1994 to 2004 under that ban. it's no longer defined by law yet. but what will an assault weapons ban actually ban? >> well, we're going to see what congress comes forward with. in 1994 there were 19 specific types of weapons, or 19 specific weapons, and a broader definition. it had, it was able to take the -- the -- bayonet, stud, a folding stock, those sorts of things were incorporated in the definition. really, weapons of war, and i think part of the 1994 ban just had to do with the sort of cosmetics of people who were frightened by the look of these weapons. whether or not that remains, i think it's one of the challenges for congress to put a reasonable definition together. >> and then when the president seeks to make, you know, access to mental health better, and also the sharing of mental health data more ubiquitous, doesn't that also open an extraordinary can of worms in terms of privacy issues? for instance, if i want to go to see psychiatrist and i have suicidal thoughts, i could end up in a federal registry? >> it's an issue and a challen
